WAIDON, 108, Fifth street," St. Paul.Cms LWDR E, 111, Harrison St., Chicago.R. S. Bu\ VNT, 446, S. State St., Chicago.It is hoped that vve will shcitly learn^hetlier the Intel state Commission isto follow the lead of the Supieme Couitof the United States and declaieaNegrohas no lights that a white man is houndtoiespeit. Theie aie se\eial cases befoie the commission i elating to the outrageous disci uniinition practiced uponcoloied people on the lailroads ol theSouth, and we hope the honorable comnussioneis will have back-bone enoughto lendei just such decisions as they-would if they had been outiaged in alike inannei Theie aie thousands ofcoloied people the Noith who nevergo South unless they are compelled todo so, foi feai of having insults and outniges heaped upon them. The whitepeople ot the Noith are just as white ifnot wlntei than those of the South, andthey do not seem to get any whiterubbed off by according equal lights inthe matter of unlroad and steamboattiavehng and it does not hurt them anymore to eat, with a black, man what awhite cook has piepaied than, it doesfor the Southeinei to eat, with whitesonly, the food that has been handledand piepared by black men and women.'Tis an old but trite adage "Consistencythou at a jewel'" We confess that twohundred and fiftv years of slavery hasnot been the best way to refine a people,and some of the colored people are veryuncouth, boisterous and immoral butall are not so there are some of us, whobeing first water diamonds, have beenpolished up by lubbing against the firstwater diamonds of the white race, andwe are the ones who feel these outragesmoat. We are perfectly willing to beaccoided pnvileges according to ourmeans and tastes just as the whites are.The whites would deem it very terribleif all their good, refined, wealthy peoplewere only accoided the meanest possibleaccommodations because there are someand very many toolow, degraded,trifling, immoral people among theui.We feel just the same way. We arewilling to stand the same tests the whitesdo to enjoy the same privileges, but wewish our judges to be completely colorblindThe colored people of Oak Ridge, La.,on last Monday, demonstrated the factthat they are tired of the manner inwhich colored men are treated in theSouth who are accused of committingrape upon white girls. There seems tobe nothing held in such holy abhorrence,by the Southerners, as that of illict intercourse between colored males andwhite females, while for years, coloredfemales have been considered by themas the lawful prey of white men and,in time of slavery many a white fatherand mother has sold his or her mulattodaughter with the full knowledge thatehe was to be the concubine of her pur-chaser. Nine-tenths of these so calledrape cases if properlv investigatedwould fall to the ground, as it would beproved that the females are usuallywilling victims. Be that as it may, how-ever, it is no more unlawful in the eyesof God in any sense, for a colored manand a white woman to hold illicit sexualintercourse that for a white man and acolored woman or for both parties tohave the same sort of cuticle. The lawof man should apply to all cases alike.We are all sons and daughters of Adam.We should all be punished for ourwrong doings, but don't make fish ofone and fowl of another. Punish allalike. *?$There is a rumor that a clique of realestate dealers in this city are to have anoidinance passed imposing an annualtax of $1,000 upon every firm or indi-vidual in the real estate business. Thiswill close out a lot of small concerns andthe big ones will catch all the fish.There is no doubt that there are moremen in the business than there is anyneed for, but believing in the survivalof the fittest we do not favor the hogishidea. Let all go ahead, just as at present,and the rustlers will keep on top whilethe others will sink.Monday is the glorious Fourth of July,but there does not seem to be very muchentusiasm among the Colored People ofthe Great Northwest. Perhaps ?heyfeel that they are not treated as citizensof the United States, and, therefore, donot care to celebrate the anniversary ofAmerican freedom until they receivethe full quoto of rtghts to which theyare entitled under the Declaration ofIndepenence.It has tianspired that the story whichhas gone the rounds of the press to theeffect that Prof W.H Council with fifteenof his pupils having first class ticketsentered a first class car in Alabama andthat the whites in the car vacated andwent in to the smoking car, is all a lie,gotten up to predudice the case of Mr.Council before the Interstate Commission.The governor of the Empiie State hassigned the bill which prohibits railwaycompanies in New York from heatingtheir cars with the old fashioned stove.It will be in ordei now, for other Statesto follow suit, and thus save many livesin the usual collisions and accidents thatoccur,from the recklessmannei in whichrailroad trains are run.After the legislature mixed the publicschools of Ohio, the short sighted colored teachers of Cincinnati, assisted bywhite men of the School Board who oppose the system, succeeded in gettingthe colored schools of that city continued for another yeai. All suchteacheisought to be relegated to the shades ofoblivion in the future.We acknowledge the receipt of"Justice" and cordially welcome it toour exchange list. "Justice" hails fromChattanooga, Tenu., with Horn, Wilson& Co., publishers. The senior memberof the firm is an old timer, and a goodone, and we extend a heartv welcomeon his return to our ranks.The graduates of the Colored HighSchool of Washington received theirdiplomas from the hands of PresidentCleveland. They were the first andwill be the only colored graduates thatwill ever receive their diplomas fromthe hands ot a Democratic president ofthe United States.We welcome to our exchange list theBaptist Journal of St. Louis, Mo., Rev.R. H. Cole, editor Rev.S. P. Anderson,business manager. It is a six columnquarto and presents a fine appearance.Among the prize winners at the Coai-mencement of Yale College was YanPou Lee, a Chinaman, which goes toshow that a Chinee man is "allee sameehkee Melican man."BE MORE RELIGIOUS, YOU MEAN.If the Afi o-Americans would cease tobe so religious and use a little morecommon sense and honesty towardseach other in their daily intercourse,their white brothers would have a littlemore respect for them. Practice thesame respect towards each other as youdo towards the white brother and wewill soon rise higher in the estimationof our white friends. Will you try itand see how it works ?Denver Argus.JLeaclville, Col.Mr. Henry Williams took a trip toDenver, last week.Miss Ella Thornton who sprained herankle recently is convalescent.Mrs. Fannie A.

Not even war days were peopleso determined and resolute as to-day.This is a moral war, a fight betweenright and wrong a fight between thehome and snloon. During the earlypart of the war men d'ffering wouldeasily settle it with musket or pistol,not so now, solid arguments are the onlyweapons used. The colored votingpopulation is about 60,000. On the prohibition question the whites are nearlyevenly divided, hence it is easily seenwhich ever side the colored people vote,that will be the winning side. Thesaloon keepers and their friends aredoing every thing in their power to control the colored vote, while the prohibitionist are working equally as hard tosecure our vote. Most of the colorednewspapers favors prohibition. TheFree Lanee especially comes out "teethand toe nail" for prooibition. The bulkof the colored people are in Middle andWest Tennessee, still East Tennesseehas her full share. Being a prohibitionist ourselves, certainly we are workingfor its success. We believe the worstenemy of the colored people is thesaloons, every attempt to deprive us ofour legal rights, even during the timey|f Klu Kluxing.originated in the saloons.ST. PAUL & MINNEAPOLIS!
